Of course, you should start cutting back. It will take time, but slowly you will start getting pleasing results.

Ok, so what do you think of this one?
I like it, but its important to know what the audience thinks. still too much?
I have an account on Welcome to Flickr - Photo Sharing, but the problem is, everyone is too polite and gentle there. they keep saying nice things, I get no criticism, so I dont improve much. which is why I flood this thread with pics. sorry guys.

@Crazydriver
Nice shot, but i dont know where to look at, the ant is like a distraction, especially since its out of focus..keep clicking.

Thanks torqueguru. You are absolutely right. After reading the comment, i took a good look at the picture and it all makes sense.

Ants were running around all over the plant. When i focussed it wasn't there. But then came up from inside, and seemed sharp in the view-finder after taking the pic. And being a beginner, i didnt think from this angle.
